Major Corporations are experiencing the greatest profits ever in the history of America.

Why aren't they hiring?

or if they are...

Why would giving them tax breaks create more jobs?

They're hiring. They're just not hiring HERE. Because we subsidize the crap out of them to earn profits overseas, and hire overseas, while enjoying our protections, markets and infrastructure.

And also because we disincent even the 'patriotic' ones from doing so, by making the cost of labor and of doing business via multitudinous regulations so high it just isn't worth the trade-off when they can... (see above).

^^^ that part is true... when conservatives talk more about letting businesses hire Americans and less about reducing the taxes on the idle rich, it starts to make sense.

Too bad the whole point of the Republican Party is to reduce the taxes on the idle rich while raising taxes on the working class, er excuse me, "broadening the base"...

Companies are hiring as fast as they can. They are just hiring people at the market rate which happens to be a rate that most Americans won't work for.

So we should tax them less and people will start to work for them at the market rate?

They must be doing a spectacularly bad job, considering nearly half of all Americans pay no income tax at all.
